2) Paperback Book Here's Johnny: Thirty Years of Americas Favorite Late Night Entertainer by Cumberland House Publishing. For those of us who grew up with Johnny Carson it´s hard to believe that it has been fifteen years since Johnny last came out from behind "The Tonight Show" curtain and even harder to accept the fact that he is no longer with us. But we´re in luck in one way....this wonderful book, compiled by Stephen Cox, brings Johnny back to life in the most comprehensive and nostalgic way. It´s a walk down Memory Lane and it is nothing short of wonderful.

From the inception of "The Tonight Show" and its early years before Johnny, Cox takes us through every segment of the thirty-year run we all enjoyed. There are comedians, of course, memorable moments, the monologue and my favorite...Joan Embery and her wildlife companions from the San Diego Zoo. Who of my generation can forget the wedding of Tiny Tim and "Miss Vicki" or the Ed Ames tomahawk throw? (the latter being a perennial favorite of the Carson annual retrospectives)

What is such an added bonus to the book are the dozens of photos that grace its pages. "Here´s Johnny!" is a terrific look back at a man who made the nation laugh for three decades and who will always be remembered as the best at what he did. Thank you, Johnny!¤

5) Paperback Book Here's Johnny: Thirty Years of Americas Favorite Late Night Entertainer by Cumberland House Publishing. Johnny Carson was the late night entertainer of my youth and there will never be anyone to compare - although Conan is great in his own right(that will be another review sometime). This book really takes you back. While I do not know all the "for-sure details"(and some things could be slightly off in this book since I don´t keep track of that so much), there is enough substance here to take you right back to watching Johnny in your parents´ living room! Like the "Clapper Caper" with Jack Webb. LOVED IT!¤

6) Paperback Book Here's Johnny: Thirty Years of Americas Favorite Late Night Entertainer by Cumberland House Publishing. On May 22, 1992, Johnny Carson emerged from his rainbow-hued curtain, mimed the famous golf swing for the last time, and said good-night to a nation that had stayed up with him for the previous three decades. Long acknowledged as the king of late-night television, he was stepping down from his throne on The Tonight Show and back into private life.

Based on interviews with Carson—the only one he’s ever granted for a book—and more than fifty major celebrities, including David Letterman, Jimmy Stewart, Bob Hope, Jonathan Winters, Betty White, Jack Paar, Phyllis Diller, and Louie Anderson, this book provides a behind-the-scenes look at the longest-running late-night television show of all time and at the man who made it all happen. It is a revision and expansion of a 1992 book that celebrated Carson’s years on the show.

More than 200 photographs, most previously unpublished, commemorate the most popular features and most memorable moments from The Tonight Show in the Carson era. Included are The Mighty Carson Art Players, Carnac the Magnificent, Stump the Band, Tiny Tim’s wedding, the infamous interview with Arnold Palmer’s wife, Ed Ames’s notorious tomahawk throw, and much more.

Chapters cover the history and evolution of The Tonight Show. In addition, featured sidebars on celebrities and common folk who appeared on the show, on Carson’s infamous feud with Joan Rivers, on Doc Severinsen (including a selected discography), and the many “Public Service Announcements” are among the many elements that complement the lively text. MORE THAN 150 B&W ILLUSTRATIONS 16-PAGE COLOR INSERT 8” X 10”, 224 PAGES PAPERBACK¤
